COMMENTS
This ratio is invariant of the size of the side-golden right triangle ABC. The shape of ABC is given by sidelengths a,b,c, where a=r*b, and c=sqrt(a^2+b^2), where r=(golden ratio)=(1+sqrt(5))/2. This is the unique right triangle matching the continued fraction [1,1,1,...] of r; i.e, under the side-partitioning procedure described in the 2007 reference, there is exactly 1 removable subtriangle at each stage. (This is analogous to the removal of 1 square at each stage of the partitioning of the golden rectangle as a collection of squares.)
Largest root of 4*x^4 - 20*x^2 - 20*x - 5. - Charles R Greathouse IV, May 07 2011

FORMULA
(circumradius)/(inradius)=abc(a+b+c)/(8*area^2), where area=area(ABC).
Equals (sqrt(5) + phi*sqrt(2 + phi))/2, where phi = A001622 is the golden ratio. - G. C. Greubel, Nov 23 2017
